That would be expected, but in newer airliners, the operator is not
really
supposed to even operate the rudder. That idea is of course only
filtering
down to pilots after the A-300 event at Rockaway.

Not so. The rudder is used to coordinate flight in modern airliners as in
any airplane. It just doesn't take nearly as much with a properly
functioning yaw damper. The pilot flying keeps his feet on the rudder
pedals when hand-flying the aircraft. Rudder is used to deliberately
un-coordinate the aircraft when taking off and landing with a crosswind. I
know some airliners are landed in a crab with a crosswind but most call for
wing low into the wind with opposite rudder for alignment. Even autoland
uses opposite rudder to convert from a crab to a slip, usually at 150' AGL.

The only change after the A-300 event is a re-evaluation of what is meant by
being at or below max maneuvering speed. The old idea that being at or
below that speed allows full control deflection with no restrictions is what
is being questioned.
